While waiting to get back to full health and play tennis, the "Pianoforte in Ateneo" concert series returns this week with Pietro de Maria, a former winner of the Geza Anda competition (possibly the most demanding, if not sadistic, piano competition in the world, since it draws on a huge repertoire and the pianists only know last minute what they are expected to play). In line with the spirit of the Geza Anda competition, Pietro de Maria's recital will offer plenty of variety, as he plays works by Bach, Vacchi, the famous Sonata op. 25 n. 5 by Clementi, two Lieder by Schubert (transcribed by Liszt), mazurkas, ballade n.4 and scherzo n.2 by Chopin. Entrance is free ( registration at [https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-pietro-de-maria-il-pianoforte-in-ateneo-1982869000558](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/biglietti-pietro-de-maria-il-pianoforte-in-ateneo-1982869000558) is recommended, in order to allow Cattolica University to have an idea of how many people will attend, but not mandatory ) Meeting point: 20:30 at the university entrance or possibly 19:15 near Cadorna, for a pre-concert aperitivo.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
